For more information on this sample, see How to: Retrieve Rows Using Bookmarks (OLE DB) in Books Online.

Languages

This sample uses Visual C++.

Prerequisites

Before running this sample, make sure the following software is installed:

SQL Server or SQL Server Express including Database Engine. You can download SQL Server Express from the
Microsoft Download Center.

Building the Sample

This sample connects to your computer's default SQL Server instance (on some Windows operating systems, you will need to change (localhost) or (local) to the name of your SQL Server instance). To connect to a named instance, change the connection string
from L"(local)" to
L"(local)\\name" , where name is the named instance. By default, SQL Server Express installs to a named instance.

Make sure your INCLUDE environment variable includes the directory that contains sqlncli.h.

If you are using Visual Studio, load the GetRowsUsingBookmark.sln file and build it.

If you are using MSBuild.exe, invoke MSBuild.exe at a command prompt, passing it the GetRowsUsingBookmark.sln file: * MSBuild GetRowsUsingBookmark.sln *
